“It is especially so when, on some basic, primal level, you realize that the new world in front of you is somehow the place you were meant to be all along. For a little while, all you can do is gape in wonder. And then, if you are very brave, or very foolish, you take your first step. And at some point you realize – maybe then, maybe later – that the person who stepped through the doorway isn’t the same person who emerged on the other side.”
